Russia’s foreign ministry on Tuesday summoned US ambassador Lynne Tracy to hand her a note demanding that the US withdraw “soldiers and equipment” from Ukraine — a reference to Western military assistance for the country.
“It was noted in particular that in order to de-escalate the situation, Washington should take steps to ensure the withdrawal of US-NATO soldiers and equipment and also stop its anti-Russian activities,” the statement said.
